In Anguis, magic is forbidden.
Sanna and Isadora Spence live deep in Letum Wood, where dragons are real, magic is dangerous, and change is coming whether anyone wants it or not.
As Dragon Servants, the sisters spend their days caring for persnickety dragons in a hidden village already strained by years of simmering tension. Wars press at the borders. Old rules are beginning to crack. And in Anguis, the one thing that could change everything—magic—is forbidden.
Sanna loves the giant beasts with her whole heart.
Isadora wants something more than the life expected of her.
But when Sanna’s devotion leads her to make an irreversible mistake, and Isadora’s disinterest in the old ways pushes her toward a fateful decision, the sisters find themselves standing at the edge of a world that may not survive unchanged.
Can Sanna and Isadora stop everything they know from falling apart?
Or is the breaking exactly what Anguis needs?

I don't normally like dragon books; there are too many plotlines I've seen before--but I loved Flame! It's a fantasy adventure about two sisters who live deep in the forest of Letum Wood. One dreams of becoming a Dragon Servant, a caretaker for the beautiful but endangered forest dragons. One fears that fate with all her heart, desperate for escape.
They both get their wishes—in entirely unexpected ways. One sister makes a connection with a "wild dragon" and the other journeys into the war-torn world beyond the forest to learn magic. Throw in imaginative world building with the god of dragons and the goddess of the forest, lies from the past, and a delightfully grumpy supporting character for a fun read. I highly recommend for teens and adults alike.
As per the physical book, it has nice typesetting and section break icons. Visually easy to read.
I really really enjoyed this story. Not only is this a coming of age type story, but it has change and hope of every kind thrown in. Dragons who think they're in charge when they're trapped just like everyone else. Fear, war, magic, healing, the list goes on. I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a story of growth, magic, and overcoming themselves.
Descriptive, imaginative writing immerses you in the world ruled by dragons. Lots of action follows Sanna and Isadora, who must choose their dragons to serve. What if you don’t like dragons? What if you love dragons and can’t choose? A very good read and I expect very popular among young adults.
Lies, betrayal, failure and wrong choices make this book intriguing as it follows 2 sister witches on the road to discovering the past and their futures. One sister Sanna loves the dragons and the other sister Isadora yearns to learn and use magic. Both sisters are on different paths but sometimes still the same.
I really enjoyed this book and I love anything that has dragons so that was a real plus.
Love this books. Katie Cross's take on dragons--their lore, their appearance, their culture--is refreshing and beautiful. Just when you thought dragon's had been done to death, Flame breathes fresh fire into the genre. Loved it!
